I would like to thank all of you for your support.

It does mean a lot to me.

That was only the 4th time I have ridden that bike.

On Thursday night I put on my 'new' parts so that it would be ready for this meet.

I had changed the brake bridge to a fly one.

A really slim Seat post clamp.

New Kool Stop orangey brake pads were added for extra stopping power and the colour was rather fetching too.

Some Demolition El Dorado Bars off a RADBMXer were put on.

And a pair of near minty MKS Grafight-X's that I got off EBAY US.

But the thing that galls me the most.

The thing that really destroyed my soul was................................






































.............................After my 1st fall when my handlebars decided to create a new belly button in my fatty gut, I had purchased some Bar Ends off Trev and installed them.

And now some thieving Pikey scum has them!!!

I really do appreciate all this effort and I wish to thank Phil for donating his coyote parts.

And for JT71 for parting bits off his Acid Skull

But, I really don't want see people out of pocket over this.

Its not your fault, it just one of those things which seem to occur more often these days.

I'm glad it was just one bike and not more, even if it was mine.

It could have been a lot worse!!

I will gratefully accept any parts that are offered but at the end of the day, it was just a bike.

I wasn't even used to it!!

I fell off three times within the first 45mins and twice I injured myself.  The 2nd time I couldn't ride anymore.

I fell off it within 20mins when it was first delivered and I fell off it last week as well.

Now I think about it, the bike was at fault, not me!!!

It was probably cursed by an evil spirit and hopefully that spirit will unleash its powers on the scum that took it.

You dont have to worry about Handlebars, brake pads and seatclamp as I have the originals.

Grips, more Bar Ends off Trev and the like I can purchase myself.

After seeing the worst in human nature I am now seeing the best!!!

When people say that this is a 'BMX Community' they are not kidding.

I hope if the need ever arises (and I wish it doesn't), it will give me the opportunity to repay this goodwill.

And hopefully the warmth and generosity developed by you in rebuilding my bike will instill a good and friendly soul into this bike so that it wont try and kill me like the last one!!! :daumenhoch:


Thank you!!!  :daumenhoch:

What a seriously brilliant bunch you all are, in these times when people mainly only care about themselves it's touching to see like minded souls rallying around to help someone in need, i'm glad i found this place, it is a REAL community :daumenhoch:

Hope you're back on wheels soon Moley, and i hope the thieving prick that has your bike gets scabs on his cock :angrysoapbox:

I tell you what, the way people on here have all rallied round to help Moley replace his stolen bike is absolutely unreal.
This just goes to show that the RADBMX community is in a league of it's own.
I think the fact the everyone is truly aware and appreciative of the enthusiasm of Moley and the effort he has put in to the scene in his relatively short time on here has paid dividends.

Despite his enthusiasm, he did seem to be tarred with the unlucky brush yesterday. He did say to me beforehand that he was after some Bar Ends. These were in a bag that were still in Muttley's van. I told him I'd get them as soon as Muttley stopped for a breather. However within the 15 minutes of so before I managed to get them, he slammed and took a bar in the stomach and took an injury that the Bar Ends may have prevented... After that, when he purchased some from me, he struggled to find an allen key to put them on. When I heard he got his bike nicked, I did think to myself at least he didn't have the opportunity to install the Bar Ends he had just bought. As it turned out, he did manage to get them put on, so he lost them too.

He is now investing in a long chain for the Curry Club session on the 28th June.... Glad to hear that this bad experience hasn't put him off.

a long chain?!?  fook that i'll be parking the proclaimer next to my chair!

on the plus side though, i think between JT71 and Phil they've got everything needed to bang a nice coyote together which will be pretty much the same as he had!   :daumenhoch:

superb fellas!!!   :4_17_5:

maybe we need to get a few quid together for postage though??

Ah, that'll be my fault. I really shouldn't lend people my tools.  :LolLolLolLol:

Tell you what Trev, let me know you Paypal addy and you can send Moley a nice replacement pair.

We all made comments about that mesh door not being locked.

Also I didn't have a seat at the table and it was mentioned I should sit outside and eat there so I can watch the bikes.

Bad omen or what!!!!

Thank you Longun for the Bar Ends, I really appreciate it!!!   

I've just check my tummy and I have 2 distinct marks so the other must be the end of the brake lever.

SuperOverSized Cobra Grips might be order!!!  :LolLolLolLol:

Thanks guys!!!  :daumenhoch:
